During the 17 Seasons of The amazing Race, we have seen several moments that have shocked us, made us very happy, made us sad, and have just pissed us off. Here are the Top 10 moments I have chosen
10. Season 1 Premieres: Now I know people dont asee this as a big Moment, however we wouldnt have the show if it never Premiered. Although the first Season sucked compared to other Seasons, it did have it's fair share of Characters, personalities, fights, and more. One thing I remember was when Five teams were left, and 2 Teams became ahead of the others by almost a day. They were so behind, that trailing teams Nancy & Emily, kevin & Drew, and Joe & Bill were unable to catch up. Joe & Bill are one of only Two teams to never cross the Finish line, the other being David & Jeff from season 4.
9. Linz Family Triumphs: Season 8's Family Edition is regarded as the worst season of TAR by several fans. However, I really liked this season. I loved the rivalry between Weaver Family versus everyone else, and I thought they casted a lot of good teams. Never mind the Annoying Paolo Family, and the Gaghan Family not making it farther, it was an awesome season. The Linz Family, started the race off well, but by the end of the first Leg, they had fallen behind and were in danger of bieng Eliminated. They thankfully made it to the Pit Stop, and not only kept getting better and better, but ended up winning the Race.
8. One Fat bastard and a Rope swing: Kevin & Drew are one of my all-time favorite teams. They are funny, loud, and hilarious. One of the best Kevin & Drew moments occured in Season 1 during the first Detour, which involved swinging from a Bungee cord to recieve a Clue. that's when Drew uttered the line heard round the world, "Swing fat bastard swing."
7. Rob & amber are beaten by charla & Mirna: One of the most shocking Eliminations, I bleieve in The Amazing Race history occured during The Amazing Race All-Stars. Rob & Amber, who had dominated Survivor: All-Stars, raced together in Season 7. They dominated Season 7, only to lose to Uchenna & Joyce. Season 11 seemed to start the same way, where they came in First Place the first 3 legs. During Leg 4, they fell behind, and embarked on one of the greatest foot races to the Pit Stop ever, which resulted in their shocking Elimination
6. Chas proposes to Stephanie: Season 17 was a very exciting Season. It gave us some great Charatcers, awesome Competition, and the most hated Couple, Chad & Stepahnie Waltrip. In the first Episode, Chad revealed that he would ask Stephanie to marry him during the Race. A few legs later, he did just that and proposed to her on one knee. Now, they are married and have a baby on the Way. Congrats I guess.
5. Carol & Brandy get owned by Caitlin Upton: Who said beauty queens didnt have guts? During The Amazing Race 16, Caitlin Upton, famous for her YouTube video where she mumbled like a drunk monkey, tried to redeem herself by competing on The Amazing Race with her boyfriend Brent. during the first leg, Dating Couple Carol & Brandy decided to bad mouth the Beauty Queen. During the race, they had poor attitudes during each task, and were negative in every situation. Their bad attitudes and trash talking caught up with them during Leg 9, when Brent & Caitlin U-Turned the team. This Carol & brandy to bitch and moan about how stupid Caitlin was for U-Turning them, and she could have U-Turned other teams based on they were bigger threats because they had come in first. I feel like they just wanted to pick on Caitlin, and were being sore losers like they were about everything else.
4. No Passport, no Check in: Justin & Zev were fan favorites for Season 15. Zev had Asperger's Syndrome, and he was raicng with his best friend Justin. I personally was a fan of the Team. But during their best leg, they came in first. However, after checking in, they realized their passports were missing, meaning they couldn't check in until they had been located. This led to one of the saddest Eliminations ever in the Series.
3. Melongate: There have been several tasks involving food in Amazing Race's 10-Year history, but during Season 17, it led to a watermelon to the Face. during one of the best tasks in amazing Race history, Home Shopping hosts Brooke & Clair were doing a task involving launching Watermelons into the Air. After a few shots, Claire launched the watermelon, which then slammed her in the face.
2. A Douche and his wife: There has been a fair share of bickering Couples on The Amazing Race, but nothing comes to close to that of the phsycotic relationship on Jonathan & Victoria Fuller from season 6. Jonathan would never stop complaining, berated his wife, and in one of the most shocking confrontations ever, actually hit his wife victoria. This led to tons of TV Talk and even an appearence on Dr. Phil. A couple years later, they again appeared on a Reality Show-themed Episode of Fear Factor. Johnny Fairplay was one of the Contestants competing, and was taunting Victoria during the Challenge. After Victoria was Eliminated in the Challenge, she went up and hit Fairplay. This caused Joe Rogan, tv host and UFC commentator, to say to Victoria, "He [Jonathan] may be able to hit you at home, but you cant do that here." This caused the most likely steroid positive Jonathan to get in Rogan'sw face as if they were going to have a UFC match on National TV. However, the fight just consisted of the two yelling, "hey hey hey," back to each other.
1. Nat & Kat make history: After 17 seasons of waiting for history to be made, it finally happened on December 12, 2010 when Nat Strand & Kat Change become the First all-female team to win The Amazing Race.
So there you have it, my Top 10 best moments in amazing Race history. Be sure to watch when The amazing RacE: Unfinished buisness premieres February 20, 2011 on CBS
